New Window Checkbox

This ends up looking like the one at the top of the menu on my 'Tutorials' section. It's pretty useful for that sort of thing, or any section of your site where you have big images or very small i-frames. That way your visitor can see your site properly if they want :)

1. Add the following code into your HEAD section of your page (if you don't know what this is, read my 'Page Tags' tutorial).

<script language="JavaScript"><!-- // thanks to randomwalks.com for this code function targetLinks(boNew) { if (boNew) where = "_blank"; else where = "_self"; for (var i=0; i<=(document.links.length-1); i++) { document.links[i].target = where; } } // --> </script>

2. Now paste this code into the BODY section of your page, wherever you want your box to appear.
<form name="targeter"> <input type="checkbox" name="targetbox" id="tcheck" onclick="targetLinks(this.checked);"> <label for="tcheck" style="cursor: default;"> Open in a new window? </label> </form>

3. If you like, customise the Open in a new window? bit :) Have a look at my CSS tutorials to customise the appearance of the box itself.
